Default iCharger 308DUO or Revolectrix GT500 DUO?

Looking for a charger to replace my Hitec X4. I'm primarily only going to be charging my receiver packs (2S Lipos 3000 mah). Maybe an occasional 6S 5000 if I'm not using my PL8. Both are overkill but I like the simplicity of having the duo since I run dual batteries and don't have to lug around 2 chargers. But I like monitoring the battery health. Does anyone have any experience with these chargers to compare?

Thanks!

For such small packs, big chargers like those are a little overkill. The Venom Pro Duo charger is a lower wattage, a lot less money, and much smaller.

The gt series is quite new, but since you have a pl8 you'll know how good FMA is. But you could keep using your hitec X4 and once in a while check the packs health with the PL8.
the icharger has some interesting tricks. The GT500 well it's a revolectrix.
Tough choice but I have a pl8 and could sway to the icharger on this one.

I use this charger: http://www.espritmodel.com/hitec-x2-...s-100w-x2.aspx

It works great for me. I can store all my batteries its small compack and it works get on my Life and Li-ion packs. Plus Esprit Models give you a 11% discount on almost everything by getting their newspaper email!
